Christine is making chocolate chip cookies for a bake sale. She needs ¾ cup brown sugar for each batch of cookies she makes. She wants to make 3 batches of cookies. She has 3 cups of brown sugar. Does Christine have enough brown sugar to make 3 batches of cookies? Without actually solving the problem, explain why or why not.

Yes because 3/4 times 3 is 2 1/4 cups so she’ll have more than enough
